Revision as of 12:12, 24 July 2013

The Memorandum Series is a compilation of handouts that I have prepared mainly as reminder (hence the name “Memorandum”) for various topics I deal with. They are also intended as teaching materials; as such, many of them contain supplemental files, e.g. software implementations of the algorithms and theory presented therein.

If you have any feedback, comments, error reports, ideas and enhancement requests regarding the Memorandum Series, do not hesitate to use my bug tracker.


M001: Keplerian Orbit Elements to Cartesian State Vectors

This Memorandum contains an algorithm for converting a traditional set of Keplerian Orbit Elements (semi-major axis, eccentricity, argument of periapsis, longitude of ascending node, inclination, and mean anomaly) to cartesian state vectors (position and velocity vector).

Keywords:
Kepler, Orbit, Elements, Cartesian, State, Vector, Rotation, Matrix
